it would be comforting to hear how we've assessed the bid regarding the safety issue, and how we're going to be prepared in case the worst (robberies, kidnappings) do happen.
Not a small concern. But, I should point out, one that we've dealt with before. We had laptops stolen in Argentina, and physical safety concerns in Alexandria, as I recall. I say this not to put a panacea of "oh, there there, it'll be fine" in place, but to assure people that this is something that I know that Garfield and Elle, and the rest of the WMF team working on this will consider and keep in mind. :-)
